Knit One Purl Two happens to be one of the most well known knitting terms, well known by non-knitters and knitters alike. Let's start with some basic patterns.

Plied yarns may themselves be plied together, producing cabled yarns or multi-stranded yarns. For large or complex patterns, it is sometimes difficult to keep track of which stitch should be knit in an particular way; therefore, several tools have been developed to identify the number of a particular row or stitch, including circular stitch markers, hanging markers, extra yarn and counters. Knitters have developed methods for giving the illusion of a circular wale, such as appear in Celtic knots, but these are inexact approximations.

It can be a humbling experience to the perfectionist. It has slowed somewhat, but its enduring nature is a testament to both the relaxation it bestows on the practitioner, and the joy of craftsmanship. Since a typical piece of knitted fabric may have hundreds of wales, warp knitting is typically done by machine, whereas weft knitting is done by both hand and machine.

Once you learn the basics of knitting, you will want to continue progressing to more advanced stitches and knitting patterns. But, that's the essence of knitting.
